OPHELIA is an architectural live performance and video sculpture that invites the audience to re-imagine Ophelia as rebel meme for climate change and emotional power. Focusing on the human destruction of the biosphere, OPHELIA invokes historical icons 'Ophelia' (John Everett Millais, 1852), 'Three Ball Total Equilibrium Tank' (Jeff Koons, 1985), and 'The Werld' (Daniil Kharms, 1939). Floating in a salt-water solution in a life-size stainless steel sarcophagus, wearing a breathing mask and Ophelia’s dress, the artist Nadja Verena Marcin will quote text from Daniil Kharms’ 'The Werld' about our limited human subjective perception.
